MySQL instance lost when upgrading to Windows 10

You can manually put the service back as follows:

STEP 01) Open the Windows CLI as Administrator

STEP 02) cd C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL 5.6\bin or wherever mysqld.exe resides

STEP 03) Reinstall the service

mysqld --install

That's it.

I have mentioned this before in ServerFault and DBA StackExchange

GIVE IT A TRY !!!
